Welcome to Anvilstone Dog Training

Not just dog training. We train people too.

Dog Boarding near Kirkby Lonsdale

We have a detached holiday cottage located opposite the farmhouse with fantastic views over the fields and fells. If you want to bring your dog and leave them with us for training whilst you relax or come out and work with your dog and Ian, then it works well for them and you.

The kennels, farm and cottage are all owned and run by Ian and Sue.
Sue runs the cottage and admin. Ian, who has 20 years’ experience in breeding, training and working wire haired pointers and has a level 3 qualification in training people, runs the dog and human training facility.

We work on high quality, small numbers, and total customer satisfaction in everything we do.

If your dog doesn’t need training but they want a holiday, they can enjoy a canine structured break running free or on leads in the countryside alongside other dogs with similar sizes, ages and physical levels.
